Scam Artist Program | Truest Ethos Theatre

An Original Play by

Marshall Logan Gibbs

A Word from the Director

The most undoubtedly human question we can ask ourselves, and we all often do, is "how can I change for the better?" While humans thrive in routine, we can also cause a lot of damage in routine. It sometimes seems impossible to make a difference when it is so much easier to let your current state stay stagnant, harmful or not. I often think back to when I was stuck in a bad way. I had been told that I was exactly where I belonged, and had believed I had no one in my corner. It is important in moments like these for us to believe in the good within our selves.

This is a story about creating your own path and choosing love. It may be hard to change, but it is NEVER too late.
